Cleveland Monsters vs. Hamilton Hammers

Cleveland Monsters vs. Hamilton Hammers at Rocket Arena

Hockey is ridiculously fast, and you don't really get it until you're close enough to follow a rush from one end of the ice to the other. The Cleveland Monsters host the Hamilton Hammers at Rocket Arena on Tuesday, November 17.

A clean breakaway can turn a quiet stretch into a full-arena reaction before the replay even starts. Forechecking pressure. Goalies fighting through traffic. One turnover that becomes the play everyone talks about on the way out. Hamilton gives the Monsters a fresh opponent on the November schedule, and that's all you need: speed, sticks and a home crowd riding every shift. Here's the beauty of a game like this: you don't need a deep history with the Hammers. You need a sense of speed and a love of a crowd that comes alive together. When the puck is in motion, so is the building.

Skip the camera angle. Sit in the building where the noise, the hits and the rush of a big chance all land at once. A Tuesday night can be a lot more fun than it sounds. Bring a friend who has never seen hockey in person and watch their face when the first big rush hits. Get Monsters–Hammers tickets and catch Cleveland hockey live.
